Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Currently, in the related art, "O scale" usually refers to the size ratio of model trains or model making, where 1 unit of actual length corresponds to 48 units of length in the model. This ratio is commonly used in model making, especially for train models, to ensure that the size relationship between the model and the actual object remains consistent. For example, if the length of a real train car is 48 feet, then the length of the model train car in O scale will be 1 foot. This scale is very popular among model enthusiasts because it can produce a large enough model to show details without being too large to handle or display.
[0003] In the prior art, the sleepers of O-scale train models are made of metal, and the sleepers and the tracks are connected by a riveted structure and are not detachable; moreover, in order to prevent the current from conducting between multiple rails and causing a short circuit, an insulating paper is required between the sleepers and the tracks as an insulating layer, which obviously increases the complexity of construction.
